I don't think asking prices tell the story. There are a staggering 958 116500's on Chrono24 right now, most are BNIB. If you want to know where the market really is, call 3 trusted sellers and try to sell your 116500. That will tell you everything you need to know about the market. My guess is dealers probably aren't paying much more than $20k for them. With that many for sale, if you're tying up cash in a watch with 958 comps for sale, you're not buying at what you think you can sell it for today and make money, you're buying at where you think the market will be in six months.

Is the return to normalcy imminent?
No.

Unfortunately what is happening now is that the unsavory underbelly of society is now hip to Rolex and are targeting people for their watches. I am hearing more and more stories of muggings and home invasions for the purpose of stealing a Rolex. This issue alone will, in my opinion, kill the market. I have personally kind of lost interest in my small collection as I have to worry about it when leaving my house. More and more people are going to move on to something more stealth and that will kill the hype train for most if not all models. It is no fun to drive around in a nice car or wear a nice piece of jewelry if you are constantly watching your 6. Thief's now realize that there are actually people walking around with literally thousands of dollars worth of an easily sellable watch on their wrist, all they have to do is follow them and wait for the right opportunity to strike. No thanks.

This is correct. Add ~3k for 12 series white, or it’s the close to the same as above for 12 series black.
It is pretty accurate to get ‘real’ pricing by seeing legit buy offers. These people claiming it’s all a charade are being silly. People are still buying watches they don’t want if greys offer them $1k cash profit on top for a flip. The ‘normal’ will never return while this exists, and there’s a longggggg way to go before this would happen.
